At 15 years old, Petra must grow into the lessons of the Mayan hummingbird as she carves her future out of a childhood scarred by gang violence.
Her life has been upended by local gang violence in her small Guatemalan village. Her childhood friend Emilio had a hand in their friend Justina’s murder, and his father is the local gang leader’s right-hand man. Betrayed by Emilio and abandoned by her mother who has fled to the U.S., Petra now fears for her own life. Petra ultimately flees to the U.S., but the pressures follow her there. As she attempts to reconcile with her mother over the abandonment, her mother disregards the danger and pushes Petra to forgive Emilio despite her alarm when he shows up near their home. The novel explores forgiveness and redemption, how to heal oneself and find a future of integrity with friends and community who have participated in atrocities. Award-winning book that recently earned acclaim from the prestigious Next Generation Indie Book Awards!
